A 15 April 1926 photograph of the Sugar Pine Lumber Company office located in Pinedale, California. This multimillion-dollar operation existed from 1921 until 1933 using some of the most modern sawmill and logging equipment in the United States at the time. The mill complex was completed in June 1923 at a cost exceeding $4 million. At its peak in the mid-twenties this facility produced an average of 100 million board feet of lumber annually. Unfortunately the operation lost money from its inception and was adjudged bankrupt on 13 June 1933.
